33 original tales about summer's darker side

Inspired by an earworm from a song in the 1978 film, Grease, "summer lovin'" became "summer bludgeon." Voila! A new collection was born. The stories, poems, and art included in this collection highlight the dark corners of our hearts. They pull back the curtains and show us people at odds, broken relationships, romantic love gone terribly wrong. Cold deeds and chilling words unfold against the simmering backdrop of the "warmest" season of the year.
